Christopher Davis-Shannon, a preeminent upright bass player in the Philadelphia scene, is into two things: Simplicity and honoring the eras past. Mostly this manifests with folk music. "I have a love for real traditional, dirty, authentic music," says Christopher Davis Shannon.Christopher is a magnet for these types of bands and projects. Whether it's solo with his guitar, or playing upright with Lover's League, Dani Mari, April Mae & the June Bugs or Bill Haley Jr. & the Comets; Davis-Shannon is likely to be involved if harkens back to the earlier traditional music.
It's only natural that when selecting an artist for Cover Club, that Christopher Davis-Shannon would select Brad Hinton. Christopher was hooked after listening to the Brad Hinton On The Hill session! It was exactly what Davis-Shannon loves, "short, to the point, no bull-shit, well crafted, no showing off!" Ironically Brad Hinton is somewhat of a kindred spirit for Davis-Shannon, playing his own tunes, but also everyone's side man playing with Hezekiah Jones,
Manatawny Creek Ramblers, Joe D’Amico, Marc Silver, Psalmships and Mason Porter!

Cover Club | Christopher Davis-Shannon "Mourning Dove" (Brad Hinton)
Cover Club is best conceptualized as “A special brand of Philly covers”, akin to The Onion’s AV
Undercover series but with one caveat: the song being covered must originally be from a Philly
artist.
